Prince Albert of Monaco recently visited Paraguay and a collection of photographs from his trip has just been published.
They have all been shared on the official Instagram page of the Royal Family of Monaco, which happened yesterday, November 4, 2025.
For this official visit, His Majesty the Sovereign Prince, accompanied by the Monagasy delegation, went to Itaipú Binacional to visit the famous hydroelectric plant.
According to a caption accompanying this collection, the program included “the discovery of the production building, the central control room and twenty turbines, as well as a walk along the dam’s viewing platform, where the Prince signed the golden book and planted a tree.”
For those who do not know it, the Itaipú Central is located on the border between Brazil and Paraguay, and is considered “one of the most powerful in the world and the first in accumulated amount of energy produced.”
It is also considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World by the American Society of Civil Engineers and measures almost 8 km long and 196 m high.
What is also pertinent to mention is that since 1984 it has managed to produce almost 2.6 billion MWh, covering 15% of Brazil’s needs and 90% of Paraguay’s needs.
